Stanley Birdbaum couldn't be more excited--he has rolled and wrapped and dyed his hair. He has dipped it and sprayed it and made it, well, perfect. He's ready to celebrate Crazy Hair Day at school.

But when Stanley marches proudly into the classroom, he discovers, to his horror, that Crazy Hair Day is...next week.

Poor Stanley. To make matters worse, today is School Picture Day--he's expected to line up with his classmates for the class photo! What's a young hamster to do?

In this uplifting story of friendship and kindness, what starts out as a worst-ever experience takes a surprising turn as Stanley's best friend, and classmate, concoct a creative show of solidarity.
